The holidays are one of my favorite times to layer up on clothing and relax with my family with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Prior to Christmas, I traveled up to the bitter cold to visit my family along with my little man and I surprisingly enjoyed being in cold weather again. Although I love the southern heat, there's nothing like seeing snow on the ground during the holiday season. Therefore, I wore plenty of comfy outfits while I was home.

A trend that I've been loving lately is graphic sweatshirts or embellished sweatshirts that can be styled many different ways. For this look, I layered a denim shirt underneath and let the collar peek out for a casual yet polished look. It was the perfect outfit, whether I was going outside to play in the snow with my son or simply staying comfortable inside. I love pairing bold prints together and blending textures, so I rocked a leopard print scarf along with this Phillip Lim sweatshirt.

Although I love the warm climate of Miami, I recently flew up north for the holidays to spend time with my family and get a taste of the cold weather. When I say cold, I don't mean a slight breeze. As I pried open my eyes this morning and gazed out into the snow covered grass, I couldn't help but cringe at the sight of it. There's something about the bitter feeling of being slapped in the face with cold when I step outside that doesn't make me scream for joy. On the other hand, it gives me the opportunity to layer wardrobe pieces and rock my winter boots or jackets.

I typically live in strappy sandal heels and skirts, but I've really been loving the fact that I can wear my winter pieces while I'm traveling for the holidays. Aside from fashion, the snow on the ground makes it feel much more like the holidays are approaching. Christmas lights on palm trees just don't express the holidays quite as well.

Lately, my go-to denim has been DL 1961's Emma in Athens jeans which are the perfect fit and provide the most slimming silhouette. The jeans have more of a legging-jean fit with faux front pockets, which I love because they make legs look slimmer without bulky pockets.

I've also been loving the punk-inspired trend, which I've incorporated in this look by simply wrapping a plaid shirt around my waist along with a graphic top and leather jacket. It's such a quick and easy way of pulling a look together that is chic yet comfortable.

In the midst of Art Basel season, it only seemed fitting that I rock a comfortably romper and my ever so consistent high heels. After all, what woman doesn't wear heels at all times? On the other hand, I have been craving some cool weather in Miami and the coolest that we receive is about...75 degrees. I'm almost despising those who are layering up and rocking boots right now (note: ALMOST).

One of my favorite new accessories is made by Miami-based jewelry designer, TAudrey, which features a handmade hashtag "StyleByLynsee" to give any outfit a little individuality or personalization. This 14K Gold filled necklace was gifted as part of my recent collaboration with TAudrey to roll out their Autograph Plate Necklace. It almost feels reminiscent of Carrie's (Sex and the City) infamous personalized necklace that she rocked throughout the show. Needless to say, it goes with everything and has become my new go-to accessory for any outfit.

What I love so much about this free flowing romper is its ability to give my body breathing room without sacrificing the chic aspect of it.

Shop TAudrey Jewelry's website for more chic customized accessories or this Autograph Plate Necklace and receive 15% off your order by using the promo code "STYLEBYLYNSEE." The necklace accomodates 10-12 characters and its retail price is $75.00.

Before diving into today's look of the day, I'd like to share this glamorous event with all of you! On Thursday, November 21st, I will be hosting an event at Neiman Marcus Bal Harbour to view the latest collection for Haute Hippie. Founder and Creative Director of Haute Hippie, Trish Wescoat Pound, will also be on site for guests to mix and mingle with her.

Guests will enjoy tasty bites and refreshing sips in the CUSP department (Level One) of Neiman Marcus at the Bal Harbour Shops.

Come by and meet me, along with other blogger fashionistas including Carmen Ordonez, Dara Michelle, Dee Trillo, and Carla St. Louis. Stylists Alex Hamdan and Romina Nabhen will be teaming up with us for this fabulous event as well.

If I'm ever in need of a comfortable dress that leaves some flexibility room, I love to throw on a shift dress. Shift dresses are quite loose-fitting and look great on any body type, like this layered dress by Cynthia Rowley.

To keep the look cool and casual, I paired it with neutral gray tones and metallic accents like this envelope clutch by ALDO. Gray is the new neutral this season, and it is the perfect way to balance out your overall look while keeping it classic at the same time.

The various colors and layering technique of this Cynthia Rowley dress transforms it from a basic shift dress to an eccentric piece that doesn't require excessive accessories.

Continuing with the neutral gray palette, I paired the dress with these booties by ALDO and removed the standard laces. I simply took some chiffon ribbon and threaded it through the booties to take these booties from boring to flirty.

Happy Monday everyone! After a weekend full of Halloween festivities with Taejin (my two-year-old), I thought I would share this feminine look with you. I fell in love with this Blessed Are The Meek top from Rhythm of Grace when I saw it in the boutique. There is something about unique pieces like this top that really scream "put me on now" when I see them.

The feather and harness detailing with gold hardware transforms a basic tee into a romantic piece that serves as the standout item in any look.

I've also been enjoying the combination of loose-fitting tees with mini skirts because it combines casual and chic in one outfit to give an effortless look and feel. Therefore, I paired this Blessed Are The Meek top with Rhythm of Grace's Bec & Bridge Skirt in ivory.

The waffle textured detail of the skirt and rounded cut that extends longer in the back is what makes this skirt so beautiful. It's also simple to dress up or down, depending on the occasion.

If you're looking for a Halloween costume that will creep out your neighbor, then check out my newest Halloween tutorial featuring a look inspired by the newest season of "The Walking Dead." Although this typically isn't my style, I decided to step out of the box and get creative with Ben Nye's Halloween makeup (that looks so realistic - it's scary).

Last night, over 20 fashion bloggers and I rocked the runway as bloggers against breast cancer for Fashion for a Cause at Bloomingdale's. We began working on the campaign last month and teamed up in a collaborative photo shoot at the Sagamore, Art Hotel in Miami Beach along with talented photographer Alexander Tamargo to create a video installation that was unveiled at Bloomingdale's at our event.

As I mentioned in my previous post about the campaign, special guests Marisa Acocella Marchetto (Glamour cartoonist and author of Cancer Vixen), Bob Carey, and Luis Valenzuela were available to meet and greet with guests while the fashion bloggers were prepping for the runway. Guests also devoured gluten-free cupcakes by BunnieCakes, fro-yo by Pinkberry and sips by Perrier.

SoBlo styled our hair while Bloomingdale's newest cosmetic area, Illamasqua gave each blogger a fabulous pink-inspired look to pair well with our Peace Love World shirts. As a runway blogger, I pre-selected and styled my look courtesy of Bloomingdale's and had an amazing time supporting a great cause. As a niece of breast cancer survivors, this particular cause was close to my heart and I will continue to support breast cancer awareness.
